what was your favorite candy bar when you were a kid?
what's your favorite now?
how often do you indulge?


Mallowcups - we even saved the 'coins' for more candy.
Payday - i prefer nougat to chocolate unless it's VERY expensive chocolate
rarely...if i have a choice of a candy bar to something substantial..i take the food item

As a kid: Three Musketeers
Now: Fresh homemade brownies

how often? Whenever I make fresh homemade brownies, which isn't often enough.

As a kid, anything I could get my hands on, as often as I could get my hands on it. Once I became a grumpy adult and learned words like "cholesterol", and "waistline", my indulgence is now pretty limited to a chocolate biscuit here in Australia called a "Mint Slice". Not sure what your American equivalent is, but it's basically a cookie base, with a layer of soft mint, all coated in dark chocolate. *drool* come to think of it, it's sorta like a larger Junior Mint with a layer of crunchy cookie added.

Those are Girl Guide cookies here - my daughter has freakin CASES of em in the fall. It's a bad scene.

[Paul Kile]

As a kid - Chunky (now a "Classic" candy - shows how old I am)

Now - Cadbury's Dairy Milk bar, but it HAS to be made in the UK. None of those stinking made-under-license-by-Hershey's abominations for me!

How Often - maybe once every 6 months or so, unless I sneak one in without my wife finding out!

I liked them better when the cookie was the minty part, rather than having the layer of mint goo. Tell your daughter that her organization has FAILED!!!

As a kid my favorite candy bar was the MARATHON bar - they don't make it anymore.
I don't indulge the way I used to, I just recently survived triple bypass open heart surgery, while the surgery was a success, there were complications after and I literally almost died. I think I'm getting some kind of message about the indulgence thing... Sorry for being such a negative Nancy.

Wow! Someone else remembers Marathon Bar....I started a thread a while ago called Extinct Candy Bars....and that one was on the list....chocolate with caramel....threaded like a braid of rope or something....loved that one....there was a knockoff version of it that was just as good but i can't remember the name of it...

My favorite was probably Snickers...(which they call Marathon bar in England...but is totally unrelated)
And Bubs Daddy Gum

Oh and hope you are doing well Stypee
I still indulge now, probably too much...probably Reese's the most nowadays.

It sounds like the Girl Scout Thin Mint. I wonder if the Girl Guides have the same cookies? I think the thin mints still have a mint flavored cookie and not any goo. I don't eat them but the box only shows a mint cookie covered in chocolate. This is from Wikipedia

# Thin Mints (green box): Thin, mint-flavored chocolate wafers dipped in a chocolate coating. Depending on the bakery used, Thin Mints may or may not contain high-fructose corn syrup. Thin mints produced by LBB contain less than 2% invert sugar syrup, while those produced by ABC contain less than 2% high-fructose corn syrup. Invert sugar syrup has roughly the same fructose content as high fructose corn syrup, however, so both varieties of Thin Mint have almost identical fructose content.[26]

If so at least the Girl Scouts of America are doing their job. This reminds me of the scene in Night Shift where Micheal Keaton is trying to explain to Herny Winkler that if they don't become pimps that Girl Scouts across the world will be mauled by dogs.

I found this link for you http://cgi.ebay.com/2011-Girl-Scout-Cookies-Thin-Mints-6-Boxes-/190515188604?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5b97137c If you don't buy them a 12 year old girl will be very sad. Don't make her come all the way to Australia to kick your butt.
